  3. In the Java Method page, click Add.
  4. In the Java method name field, type runInOut for the name of the method.
  5. Next you will create the input data mapping between COBOL and Java: Beside the Input type field of the Java Method page, click New.
  6. In the Data Import page, ensure that the Choose mapping field is COBOL to Java. Click Browse beside the COBOL file field.
  7. Browse to find the file location of the InEqualsOut.cbl file. (You can find a copy in your product installation folder: <installdir>\IBM/SDPShared/plugins/com.ibm.j2c.cheatsheet.content/Samples/\IMS/InOutArray).
  8. Click Open.
  9. Click Next.
  10. In the COBOL Importer page, click Show Advanced.
    1. Select the following options:
